Lupita, who plays the role of Nakia in land Wakanda, rocked all Lancôme everything on the face as she blazed the red carpet. With celebrity makeup artist Nick Barose on the beat, the Lancôme spokeswoman stayed loyal to the brand with her purple accented makeup.

Keeping her skin fresh and melanin popping, Lupita opted for a touch of lilac eyeshadow on the lips and a deep plum lip. With theaters already selling out for the film’s nationwide theatrical debut on February 16th, we can’t wait to see what other looks Lupita brings out as press revs up for this highly anticipated cinematic display of black excellence.
